Pamulaparthi Venkata Narasimha Rao (June 28, 1921 – December 23, 2004) was an Indian lawyer and politician who served as India's ninth Prime Minister from 1991 to 1996. His election as Prime Minister was politically noteworthy since he was just the second person from a non-Hindi-speaking region to hold the position, and the first from South India. Rao had a heart attack on December 9, 2004, and was sent to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, where he died 14 days later at the age of 83.
